Dr. Yogita Gupta

Abstract :

Hypothyroidism is a common medical condition that occurs more often in pregnant women. Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy has been an important research area in clinical endocrinology due to the fact that thyroid dysfunction has immense impact on maternal and fetal outcomes.Thyroid gland in hypothyroid women are not able to respond either to thyrotropin or to chorionic gonadotropin, so the incremented requirement for thyroxine is not achieved and the serum thyrotropin concentration increases Thus, pregnancy creates a challenge for the thyroid, particularly where thyroid reserve is limited, or iodine deficiency is present.he levothyroxine dose required to attain the TSH target levels varied significantly, depending on the baseline TSH levels.It is well–established that overt hypothyroidism in pregnancy should be treated, the recommended levothyroxine doses but when it comes to the subject of subclinical hypothyroidism,there is no clear guidelines about dose of levothyroxine.This review of literature gives us a vision about the intial and trimester specific mean levothyroxine doses in Subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy
